Assign Users to Mailbox Groups

There are two predefined mailbox groups, the Mailbox Browser Interface Users group and the Mailbox Administrators group. All users that interact with mailboxes through the MBI, must be added to the Mailbox Browser Interface Users group. All users that administer mailboxes must be added to the Mailbox Administrators group.

About this task

The Mailbox Administrators group has the Mailbox Browser Interface Users group as a subgroup, so users do not need to be added to it separately. Following are descriptions for each group:

• Mailbox Browser Interface Users Group - Users in this group have permissions to access the Mailbox Browser Interface (MBI) business processes and templates. External or internal trading partners that add files to and extract files from the mailbox should be placed in this group.
• Mailbox Administrators Group - Users who are part of the Mailbox Administrators group are also (automatically) part of the Mailbox Browser Interface Users group. So making a user part of the Mailbox Administrators group gives the user access to the Mailbox Browser Interface without the need to assign the latter group, explicitly. The user ID Admin is, by default, part of the Mailbox Administrators group.

To add users to these groups:

1. From the Accounts menu, select User Accounts.
2. You can either create a new user account or edit an existing account.
3. To create a new user account, in the Create section, next to Create a new account, click Go!
4. To edit an existing account, search by name or find it in a list. Click the edit icon.
5. Complete the fields in the User ID page and click Next.
6. In the Groups page, move either the Mailbox Browser Interface Users group or the Mailbox Administrators group from the Available list to the Assigned list and click Next.
7. When you are finished updating the user account, click Save or Finish.
